Be Aware: Your company's AAD Connect may Auto-Upgrade

Azure Active Directory Connect version 1.1.561.0 was just released and it greatly expands the scope by which AAD Connect will automatically upgrade.

 

AAD Connect automatically checks for new builds ever since version 1.1.105.0, but some previous configurations have been unable to auto-upgrade due to customization.

Don't be surprised by unexpected upgrades now that this new version has been released.

    I would have thought most enterprise customers would want to disable this feature. At the very least check if this feature is enabled and have this known in the organisation.
